We are not like our ancestors who pretty much would eat the same few staple things day in, day out. We are...

This morning on a trip to our local “Fresh Market” for some bananas and strawberries to make our usual breakfast smoothie, as I was leisurely combing the aisles, (which is something I often do in hopes of finding something new and delicious to add to my clean food fair), I was inspired to buy a bag of Almond Flour and attempt making Strawberry Banana...

The South Beach Diet , The Atkins Diet, The Lemonade Diet, The Blood Type Diet, The Flat Belly Diet, The Glycemic index Diet… diet..diet..diet , blah, blah, blah… The plethora of “diets” that have come, gone, and have still yet to make their way into our weight-loss obsessed society is enough to make your head spin, leave you ravenous, terribly...
